Let's move forward with guaging interest in these supplemental denominations for the Protege Set. The decision of which ones to make, and in what order, will largely be determined by the purchase intent of CT members. Also, keep in mind that following the pre-buy production of these, any of them or all of them may abruptly be discontinued, and this may happen in a seemingly arbitrary manner for both marketing reasons and the maintenance of the exclusivity of the Protege line. However, we can't make any guarantees upfront what denominations will or will not be added to the core of the set.
While we will not be collecting money based on purchase intentions stated in this thread, before production begins we will, so for the sake of everyone involved please be as accurate as possible.
Here are the chips (preliminary colors that still need to be approved by manufactuer):
NOTE: The $50 chip will not have a sawtooth punched/shaped inlay... unless there is massive demand (10K+) for that chip as the shaped inlays are quite expensive.
How to declare intent:
Make one post per CT member in this thread with the quantity of each denomination you'd be willing to buy if offered at the following pre-pay pricing schedule (based on the collective demand per denomination):
Combined quantity of 1000 chips - $1.10 per chip
Combined quantity of 1500 chips - $1.05 per chip
Combined quantity of 3000 chips - $1.00 per chip
*If we don't reach the 1000 mark for any individual denomination, we could still make them available, but it would be at a significantly higher per chip price point (something like $2/chip at 100 level, $1.50/chip at 250 level, and $1.25/chip at the 500 level). Of course, intent may well change if the pricing jumps into these levels on the pre-buy, and that should be understood by all. Opting out at this point will be totally acceptable.
To thank Magus_23 for his excellent work on this supplemental line, I'd like to extend him an offer for 500 of these supplemental chips on the house - any mix he likes (reading this will be the first he hears of this, so congrats Magus_23!). These will count toward the quantity levels above. And anyone who takes advantage of this offer, please send some thanks to Magus_23 for his artistic contributions on this extention of the Protege line.
